I think i'd rather eat silica than tapioca.

but it makes for an ingenious background.

and I'm considering divorce and remarriage so I can get a ring like that. Anyone wants to make me an offer?

Call it an alternative eternity ring and go that route - much cheaper than your idea!

**medusa** · 23-03-2011, 03:42 PM

my idea has more dramatic potential

It went on into 70's school dinners Dennis, but we were spoilt! We had HUGE balls that were "frogs' spawn" in our puddings, rather than the standard tapioca, exciting, and I have to admit - I loved it!! Perhaps it was my parents telling us just how spoilt we were!! (I think it was the jam and whizzing it into a pink 'gloop' that always made it taste soooo good !

Looks good dry in the photos too :-)

Thanks everyone.

I'll go and burst everyone's bubble then...its not tapioca nor is it frog spawn or silica either. They're little glass balls that I bought from a flower shop used for decoration there.

@ medusa, you don't have to marry get a ring like that
